offset 3-link

[jerome]

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.



Assuming a 40" panhard that is level at ride height, 3" of change in either bump or droop gives .113" lateral movement, for a max change of .226" of lateral movement for any bump or droop condition. I can tolerate a quarter inch of imperfection in exchange for the difficulty of setting up a watts properly.

If I understand correctly, a parallel 4-link cannot provide both roll neutral/under steer and antisquat at the same time. The links need to point up for antisquat, and the links need to point down for roll understeer. I thought when you have the links not being parallel, you have a kinematic bind in roll.

Dont get me wrong here, I see that the system worked for you, but on paper, I dont know how it worked. The bit about the pinion angle helps alot, I'll look into calculating how much change I'm getting.

air ride has a 3-link application for the S10, mine will be similar, but will be laterally located with the panhard instead of the wishbone for an adjustable roll center.
